Superb time with the reindeer
Wonderful trip…really interesting. The reindeer are beautiful. The Sami people were really friendly. We were a bit worried it might feel exploitative but it turned into the highlight of our time in Tromso. The reindeer are free to roam and very well looked after, they all had their own personalities. And the Sami people were genuine, full of stories, and even the jokes were funny. It was a great trip, highly recommended

Wonderful family experience
This was one of our holiday highlights. The small group made it feel relaxed and calm. The reindeer were so curious and very cute. We enjoyed interacting with them on their own terms. Mikka gave a really fascinating insight into Sami culture and history, something we knew very little about prior to our trip. The warm fire, drinks and snacks were very enjoyable too. Thank you for wonderful family memories.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful words and for visiting us - we are very happy we could be part of your special memories. Take care and we hope to see you again one day :)

Feeding the reindeer was...
Feeding the reindeer was a wonderful experience. They were very excited but very gentle. It is out in the open so if the wind is blowing make sure to wrap up with lots of warm layers
Response from the operator: We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience, and thank as well for the great tip - it is helpful for future visitors. We hope to see you again! :)

Magical experience with a spoonful of history! Sublime!
Felt like Christmas! As soon as we got there, the host (Sami) allowed us a good amount of time to feed the reindeer - which truly set the experience off with an amazing start! We then had snacks and hot drinks in their Lavoo whilst being enthralled by hearing stories and songs of the Sami culture! Truly unforgettable
Response from the operator: We are very happy you enjoyed feeding the reindeer and spending time in the lavvu! We hope to see you again! :)

Exclusive Reindeers Experience in small groups, Tromso: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Exclusive Reindeers Experience in small groups, Tromso cost?
+
Prices start at $198 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tromso usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Exclusive Reindeers Experience in small groups, Tromso take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tromso is not rushed.
Is Exclusive Reindeers Experience in small groups, Tromso worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 78 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tromso, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Exclusive Reindeers Experience in small groups, Tromso?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Exclusive Reindeers Experience in small groups, Tromso suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Exclusive Reindeers Experience in small groups, Tromso?
+
Around 27 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tromso can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tromso and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Exclusive Reindeers Experience in small groups, Tromso start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tromso within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tromso?
+
On Outty we rank every Tromso experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chasing Lights: Aurora Big Bus Chase (All Photos Included), Tromsø: Small Group | Northern Lights Chase + All-Inclusive, Tromso Northern Lights Minibus Chase Small Group Tour with Photos. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tromso?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tromso?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
